In Firefox the bookmarks are stored in a database file called places.sqlite in the profile folder. You can copy that file from your backup and place it in the current profile folder.

For details of how to find the profile folder see either https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles or http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
